You've got a couple of verses there I hadn't seen before. And this one was absent in wording, although not in intent:

Our loved Dominion bless,
With peace and happiness,
From shore to shore,
And let our Empire be,
United, loyal, free,
True to herself and thee,
For-ever-more.

From the Gideon Bible I was given in 1973.

Actually, as I understand it the second verse (... frustrate their knavish tricks ...) was changed in the 30s to something less militant sounding, but I never bothered to memorize the replacement. Sometimes 'militant' is good.
